Illustrative example: an invoice app for independent contractors. Your kit is tailored to the app you choose; this is not its generated content.

Feature spec

Goal: Send a clear invoice after finishing a job.

  • Add a client, line items, a due date, and payment instructions.
  • Preview the total before exporting a PDF.
  • Keep an editable draft if export fails.

Screen plan

Invoice editor: Client at the top, editable line items in the middle, total and preview action at the bottom.

States: Empty draft, validation errors beside each field, exporting, and a retry action that preserves the draft.

Differentiate and validate

Hypothesis: Contractors need faster repeat invoices more than more templates.

First experiment: Test duplicating a previous job with five contractors. Watch where they hesitate before expanding the feature set.

The full kit adds a phased build plan, evidence notes, tool prompts, and implementation guidance. It is a plan for your coding agent, not a finished app.

Usage: Mechanics are fair game; never reuse the original name, branding, assets, or verbatim copy.

App Store description

Cmux Remote is a private remote-control client for the cmux terminal multiplexer running on your own computer. Connect through your Tailscale network so your terminal traffic stays between your own devices and does not pass through any developer-controlled server. WHAT IT IS Cmux is a modern terminal multiplexer with workspaces, split surfaces, and integrations for AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Codex, omx, and Cursor. Cmux Remote mirrors the cmux surface you choose, lets you type into it, send keys, switch workspaces, and receive local notifications from a mobile device. WHO IT IS FOR This app is for developers who keep long-running coding agents, builds, servers, terminals, or command-line tools active on a personal development machine and want a simple way to check progress or send quick input while away from the desk. It is also useful for people who already use SSH or Tailscale to reach their own computer and want a more focused remote terminal control experience. HOW IT WORKS First, install the open-source cmux-relay helper on the computer that runs cmux. Then connect that computer and this device to the same Tailscale tailnet. Open Cmux Remote, enter the computer's Tailscale hostname and relay port, and connect. Your cmux workspaces appear in the app. Choose a surface and start interacting with it. The relay talks directly to cmux through its local Unix socket. Cmux Remote talks to the relay through a WireGuard-encrypted Tailscale tunnel. There is no hosted backend for terminal data, no analytics pipeline, and no external relay service controlled by the app developer. FEATURES Live cmux surface mirroring with ANSI color support. Korean and CJK character width handling. Keyboard accessory controls for Esc, Enter, Tab, arrow keys, and Ctrl combinations. Mouse passthrough support for compatible terminal UIs such as Textual, Bubble Tea, and fzf. Local notifications for cmux events without an external notification server in version 1.0. Workspace and surface switching with compact controls. Pinch-to-zoom terminal font sizing. Automatic scroll-to-bottom behavior when changing surfaces. Demo Mode with populated sample data so you can try the interface before setting up a relay. PRIVACY Cmux Remote does not include analytics, advertising, or third-party SDK tracking. The bearer token issued by your relay is stored only in secure credential storage on your device. Terminal content and control messages are exchanged only between your device and your own relay over your Tailscale network. Source code and privacy details are available at: https://github.com/NewTurn2017/cmux-remote REQUIREMENTS A personal computer running cmux 0.64 or later. The open-source cmux-relay helper installed on that computer. Both devices connected to the same Tailscale tailnet. A compatible mobile operating system version for this app. Cmux Remote is open source under the MIT license. Issues and pull requests are welcome.

Build scope

Plan a focused first version with your coding agent. These are planning assumptions, not a delivery guarantee.

Define the first version

Choose one audience and one core workflow. Use the kit to agree on its screens, data, and acceptance criteria before building.

Set boundaries

Decide which secondary features, integrations, and platform support can wait. Your version does not need to reproduce everything in the original.

Check the hard parts

Validate external services, specialist technology, data access, and ongoing costs for your chosen scope.

A reliable timeline needs an agreed scope and a technical check. Ask your agent to estimate the phases in BUILD_PLAN.md after that review.
